BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT

Lindsey Rickert Photography

When Lindsey came to MESO, she was finishing college and as Lindsey puts it, was “working at a dead-end job that I hated.”

She was saving money and networking but struggled to take the bold step of full-time self-employment until her employer closed her work location and she discovered MESO.

Three years later Lindsey has a beautiful website, marketing materials, a comprehensive business plan, new photo and printing equipment, and a

system for goal-setting and mentorship. During her time with MESO, Lindsey completed her IDA and accessed a report through Marketlink. Additionally, she launched a Kickstarter campaign, which funded her tour of drive-in movie theaters across the United States in a sponsored car and self-published her first photography book based on those travels. She has since shared her knowledge of Kickstarter success with other MESO business owners.

A remarkable, determined person, Lindsey says,

Never be afraid to ask for what you want. The worst someone can do is to say no.
